Benzyl amines, a process for their production and their use as anti-inflammatory agents

ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to the compounds of formula I,  
                 
processes for their production and their use as anti-inflammatory agents.

This patent application claims the priority according to the Paris Convention of European Patent application No. EP 06014665.1 filed Jul. 14, 2006 as well as the benefit of the U.S. provisional application 60/830,671 filed Jul. 14, 2006 both of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The present invention relates to compounds of formula I, a process for their production and their use as anti-inflammatory agents.

From the prior art of DE 100 38 639 and WO 02/10143, anti-inflammatory agents of the following general formula

are known, in which the Ar radical comprises phthalides, thiophthalides, benzoxazinones or phthalazinones. In the experiment, these compounds show dissociations of action between anti-inflammatory and undesirable metabolic actions and are superior to the previously described nonsteroidal glucocorticoids or exhibit at least just as good an action.

Compounds structurally similar to those described in this patent application are disclosed in WO 2005/035518. Due to the manufacturing process these compound always do contain a group

in which the bond between a and b or between b and c may be unsaturated (in other words they contain a —CH₂—CH(CH₃)₂, a —CH═C(CH₃)₂ or a —CH₂—C(CH₃)═CH₂ group). Compounds of such a composition are specifically disclaimed in the present application.

Despite all efforts, the selectivity of the compounds of the prior art towards the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) compared to the other steroid receptors still requires improvement.

It was therefore the object of this invention to make compounds available whose selectivity towards the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is improved compared to the other steroid receptors.

This object has been achieved by the compounds according to the claims.

Due to the presence of asymmetry centers the compounds of general formula I according to the invention may have several stereoisomers. Objects of this invention are all possible diastereomers, both as racemates and in enantiomer-pure form.

The compounds according to the invention can also be present in the form of salts with physiologically compatible anions, for example in the form of hydrochlorides, sulfates, nitrates, phosphates, pivalates, maleates, fumarates, tartrates, benzoates, mesylates, citrates or succinates.

The compounds can be produced by the various processes that are described below (a-d).

Ketone of the general formula (II) can be aminated under use of LDA or (L) or (D)-proline catalysis at the α-position with azadicarboxylates. The hydrazino ketone of formula (III) can be reacted with Grignard, organo-lithium reagents or organo-indium reagents of type R⁶-Met to yield hydrazino alcohols of type (IV). Catalytic hydrogenation reduces the hydrazino carboxylate (IV) to amines of type (V) which can be substrates for aromatic amination with arylhalogens R⁴Hal under copper or palladium catalysis.

In the formulae provided above COBbz has the meaning of Carboxybenzyl. b)

Benzaldehydes of type (VI) can condensed with amines of type R⁴—NH₂ to imines of type (VII) using titanium alcoholates or organic acids as reagents. The Imines of type (VII) are reacted with ketones of type (VIII) in a crossed pinacole coupling (Tetrahedron. Lett. 1992, 33, 1285-8; J. Am. Chem. Soc 1956, 78, 2268; Tetrahedron 1964, 20, 2163), by use of metal salts (low valent transition metal salts) like for example NbCl₃ or Sml₂ to benzyl-1-amin-2-oles of formula (I). c)

In b) described imines of type (VII) are treated at low temperatures of −80° to −100° C. with the lithiated epoxide (IX) to yield compounds of type (X). The epoxides (X) can be opened by nucleophils of type R⁶‘-Met’ to deliver compound (I*). Possible nucleophiles are alkylcuprates, vinylcuprates, thioles, allylsilanes, vinylsilanes, vinylstannanes, grignard compounds, in the presence of Lewis acids like BF₃ or AlMe₃, AlCl₃, cyanides, amines, alcoholes and thioalcoholes.

This process described above can be performed enantioselectively by use of enantio pure epoxides of formula (IX) to yield enantiopure compounds of formula (X) and (I*).

It is clear to a person skilled in the art, that by using this synthetic route only a subgroup of the group R⁶ as defined in claim 1 can be synthesized. These compounds require a methylene group (—CH₂—) as the first element in the group R⁶. The various possibilities that are possible are defined in the claims as —CH₂—R^(6′). d)

The α-ketophosphonate (XI) is condensed under cyanide catalysis to (X-keto-phosphoric acid ester (XII). The α-keto-phosphoric acid ester (XII) is cleaved to the α-hydroxyketone and condensed to an imine under presence of titanates and acetic acid. Reduction of the imine by sodiumborohydrate or katalytic hydrogenation delivers compound (I).

Optionally the nitrogen atom of radical R⁴ of general claim formula VII or X (such as in the indazole, quinolone, isoquinolone and phthalazine) can also be alkylated with a C₁-C₃-alkyl group.

Compounds of general formula VII or X, in which R⁴ means a monocyclic 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring system that is linked via any position, such as, e.g., furan or thiophene, are another object of the invention.

Compounds of general formula VII or X, in which R⁴ means an substituted phenyl ring or an substituted naphthyl ring are another object of the invention.

As substituents for rings contained in R⁴, the same that are already disclosed for R¹ and R² are suitable.

Especially preferred are compounds of general formulae V, VII, X and XII in which

-   -   I) at least one of R¹, R², R³ is selected from         -   methoxy, hydroxy, fluoro, chloro, methyl,         -   or R¹ and R² together mean a group —O—CH₂—O—, —CH₂—CH₂—O— or             —CH₂—C(CH₃)₂—O— (forming together with the phenyl group to             which they are bound a five membered ring)     -   II) R⁴ is selected from quinolin-5-yl, phthalazinyl,         quinazolinyl which can be substituted independently one or two         times by carbonyl, methyl or fluorine     -   III) R⁵ is —CF₃     -   IV) R⁶ is selected from         -   benzyl, propyl, chloromethyl, bromomethyl,             ethylsulfanylmethyl, (imidazol-2-yl)-sulfanylmethyl,             (imidazol-2-yl)-sulfonylmethyl,             1,2,4-triazol-3-ylsulfanylmethyl,             (1-methyl-imidazol-2-yl)-sulfanylmethyl,             (1H-imidazol-2-yl)-sulfanylmethyl,             pyrimidine-2-yl-sulfanylmethyl, 2-propylsulfanylmethyl,             cyanomethyl, methylsulfanylmethyl, dimethylaminomethyl,             ethoxymethyl-, hydroxymethyl, ethoxymethyl     -   and all subcombinations of I-IV.

If the various compounds according to the invention are present as racemic mixtures, they can be separated into pure, optically active forms according to the methods of racemate separation that are familiar to one skilled in the art. For example, the racemic mixtures can be separated by chromatography on an even optically active carrier material (CHIRALPAK AD®) into the pure isomers. It is also possible to esterify the free hydroxy group in a racemic compound of general formula I with an optically active acid and to separate the diastereoisomeric esters that are obtained by fractionated crystallization or by chromatography, and to saponify the separated esters in each case to the optically pure isomers. As an optically active acid, for example, mandelic acid, camphorsulfonic acid or tartaric acid can be used.

The binding of the substances to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and other steroid hormone receptors (mineral corticoid receptor (MR), progesterone receptor (PR) and androgen receptor (AR)) is examined with the aid of recombinantly produced receptors. Cytosol preparations of Sf9 cells, which had been infected with recombinant baculoviruses, which code for the GR, are used for the binding studies. In comparison to reference substance [³H]-dexamethasone, the substances show a high to very high affinity to GR. IC₅₀(GR)=64 nM was thus measured for the compound from Example 3.

As an molecular mechanism for the anti-inflammatory action of glucocorticoids, the GR-mediated inhibition of the transcription of cytokines, adhesion molecules, enzymes and other pro-inflammatory factors is considered. This inhibition is produced by an interaction of the GR with other transcription factors, e.g., AP-1 and NF-kappa-B (for a survey, see Cato, A. C. B., and Wade, E., BioEssays 18, 371-378, 1996).

The compounds of general formula I according to the invention inhibit the secretion of cytokine IL-8 into the human monocyte cell line THP-1 that is triggered by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The concentration of the cytokines was determined in the supernatant by means of commercially available ELISA kits. The compound from Example 3 showed an inhibition IC₅₀(IL8)=25 nmol.

The anti-inflammatory action of the compounds of general formula I was tested in the animal experiment by tests in the croton oil-induced inflammation in rats and mice (J. Exp. Med. (1995), 182, 99-108). To this end, croton oil in ethanolic solution was applied topically to the animals' ears. The test substances were also applied topically or systemically at the same time or two hours before the croton oil. After 16-24 hours, the ear weight was measured as a yardstick for inflammatory edema, the peroxidase activity as a yardstick for the invasions of granulocytes, and the elastase activity as a yardstick for the invasion of neutrophilic granulocytes. In this test, the compounds of general formula I inhibit the three above-mentioned inflammation parameters both after topical administration and after systemic administration.

One of the most frequent undesirable actions of a glucocorticoid therapy is the so-called “steroid diabetes” [cf., Hatz, H. J., Glucocorticoide: Immunologische Grundlagen, Pharmakologie und Therapierichtlinien [Glucocorticoids: Immunological Bases, Pharmacology and Therapy Guidelines], Wissenschaftliche Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, Stuttgart, [998]. The reason for this is the stimulation of gluconeogenesis in the liver by induction of the enzymes responsible in this respect and by free amino acids, which are produced from the degradation of proteins (catabolic action of glucocorticoids). A key enzyme of the catabolic metabolism in the liver is tyrosinamino transferase (TAT). The activity of this enzyme can be determined from liver homogenates by photometry and represents a good measurement of the undesirable metabolic actions of glucocorticoids. To measure the TAT induction, the animals are sacrificed 8 hours after the test substances are administered, the livers are removed, and the TAT activity is measured in the homogenate. In this test, at doses in which they have an anti-inflammatory action, the compounds of general formula I induce little or no tyrosinamino transferase.

Because of their anti-inflammatory and, in addition, anti-allergic, immunosuppressive and antiproliferative action, the compounds of general formula I according to the invention can be used as medications for treatment or prophylaxis of the following pathologic conditions in mammals and humans: In this case, the term “DISEASE” stands for the following indications:

All previously mentioned indications (i) to (xx) are described in more detail in Hatz, H. J., Glucocorticoide: Immunologische Grundlagen, Pharmakologie und Therapierichtlinien, Wissenschaftliche Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, Stuttgart, 1998.

For the therapeutic actions in the above-mentioned pathologic conditions, the suitable dose varies and depends on, for example, the active strength of the compound of general formula I, the host, the type of administration, and the type and severity of the conditions that are to be treated, as well as the use as a prophylactic agent or therapeutic agent.

In addition, the invention provides:

-   -   (i) The use of one of the compounds of formula I according to         the invention or mixture thereof for the production of a         medication for treating a DISEASE;     -   (ii) A process for treating a DISEASE, said process comprises an         administration of an amount of the compound according to the         invention, in which the amount suppresses the disease and in         which the amount of compound is given to a patient who requires         such a medication;     -   (iii) A pharmaceutical composition for treating a DISEASE, said         treatment comprises one of the compounds according to the         invention or mixture thereof and at least one pharmaceutical         adjuvant and/or vehicle.

In general, satisfactory results can be expected in animals when the daily doses comprise a range of 1 μg to 100,000 μg of the compound according to the invention per kg of body weight. In the case of larger mammals, for example the human, a recommended daily dose lies in the range of 1 μg to 100,000 μg per kg of body weight. Preferred is a dose of 10 to 30,000 μg per kg of body weight, and more preferred is a dose of 10 to 10,000 μg per kg of body weight. For example, this dose is suitably administered several times daily. For treating acute shock (e.g., anaphylactic shock), individual doses can be given that are significantly above the above-mentioned doses.

The formulation of the pharmaceutical preparations based on the new compounds is carried out in a way that is known in the art by the active ingredient being processed with the vehicles that are commonly used in galenicals, fillers, substances that influence decomposition, binding agents, moisturizers, lubricants, absorbents, diluents, flavoring correctives, coloring agents, etc., and converted into the desired form of administration. In this case, reference is made to Remington's Pharmaceutical Science, 15^(th) Edition, Mack Publishing Company, East Pennsylvania (1980).

For oral administration, especially tablets, coated tablets, capsules, pills, powders, granulates, lozenges, suspensions, emulsions or solutions are suitable.

For parenteral administration, injection and infusion preparations are possible.

For intra-articular injection, correspondingly prepared crystal suspensions can be used.

For intramuscular injection, aqueous and oily injection solutions or suspensions and corresponding depot preparations can be used.

For rectal administration, the new compounds can be used in the form of suppositories, capsules, solutions (e.g., in the form of enemas) and ointments both for systemic and for local treatment.

For pulmonary administration of the new compounds, the latter can be used in the form of aerosols and inhalants.

For local application to eyes, outer ear channels, middle ears, nasal cavities, and paranasal sinuses, the new compounds can be used as drops, ointments and tinctures in corresponding pharmaceutical preparations.

For topical application, formulations in gels, ointments, fatty ointments, creams, pastes, powders, milk and tinctures are possible. The dosage of the compounds of general formula I should be 0.01%-20% in these preparations to achieve a sufficient pharmacological action.

The invention also comprises the compounds of general formula I according to the invention as therapeutic active ingredients.

In addition, the compounds of general formula I according to the invention are part of the invention as therapeutic active ingredients together with pharmaceutically compatible and acceptable adjuvants and vehicles.

The invention also comprises a pharmaceutical composition that contains one of the pharmaceutically active compounds according to the invention or mixtures thereof or a pharmaceutically compatible salt thereof and a pharmaceutically compatible salt or pharmaceutically compatible adjuvants and vehicles.

For example, for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, COPD (chronic obstructive lung disease), asthma or allergic rhinitis, a compound of general formula (I) of this invention can be combined with one or more pharmaceutical agents for treating such a condition. When such a combination is administered by inhalation, the pharmaceutical agent that is to be combined can be selected from the following list:

-   -   A PDE4 inhibitor including an inhibitor of the PDE4D isoform,     -   A selective β.sub2.adrenoceptor agonist, such as, for example,         metaproterenol, isoproterenol, isoprenaline, albuterol,         salbutamol, formoterol, salmeterol, terbutaline, orcipresnaline,         bitolterol mesylate, pirbuterol or indacaterol;     -   A muscarine receptor antagonist (for example, an M1, M2 or M3         antagonist, such as, for example, a more selective M3         antagonist), such as, for example, ipratropium bromide,         tiotropium bromide, oxitropium bromide, pirenzepine or         telenzepine;     -   A modulator of the chemokine receptor function (such as, for         example, a CCR1 receptor antagonist); or     -   An inhibitor of the p38 kinase function.

For another object of this invention, such a combination with a compound of general formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is used for treatment of COPD, asthma or allergic rhinitis and can be administered by inhalation or orally in combination with xanthine (such as, for example, aminophylline or thyeophylline), which also can be administered by inhalation or orally.
